In the Melk district, a serious work accident occurred on Monday, in which two workers were at risk. The two men, one 15 and the other 34 years old, crashed from a height of about 15 meters during their work. This dramatic Situation has put into great excitement both colleagues and emergency services.

How this serious incident came about is still unclear. The crane arm, on which the two workers worked, apparently broke under unexplained circumstances. A precise investigation of the events is now carried out by the responsible authorities to find out what exactly led to the terrible crash.

Details on the accident

The 15-year-old and the 34-year-old were busy with work that required the use of heavy machines and devices. The incident occurred during a regular working day that was interrupted abruptly by the crash. Immediate rescue measures were initiated when the alarmed rescue workers arrived on site.

The severity of the two men's injuries suggests that the injuries are serious. The rescue teams worked quickly and precisely to secure the injured and to transport it into a suitable medical facility. It is unclear whether the workers were able to protect themselves during the fall, which may have to contribute to the serious injuries.

Such accidents illustrate the dangers associated with construction work and the use of heavy machines. Companies are legally obliged to ensure that their employees work in a safe environment. Compliance with security protocols plays a central role here, and current events such as this crash raise questions about safety at the workplace.

The local police have already started investigations to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. The Chamber of Labor and other security authorities could also be included in the investigations to uncover potential grievances.

The situation remains tense, and while the relatives of the injured are waiting for news, everyone hopes that rapid and complete recovery is possible. This tragedy once again shows how important security measures are in the workplace and reminds everyone of the risks that exist in the construction and industrial industry.
